therefore take this method of advising that I am a candidate on the Democratic ticket for the nomi-
or County Clerk and respectfully solicit your support and co assure you any assistance rcn-'
dei .a Witt be highly appreciated and gratefully remembered. If I should be nominated and elected I
want to promise you no.v that I will devote my ei.tire time and best efforts attending to the duties
of the office. I regard a public office as a public trust, and if elected will earnestly endeavor to prove
that assertion. To those who are not personally acquainted with mc I beg to advise that I am a
widow of the late M. A. McSpadden, more familiarly known as "Mag" McSpadden, and who died a
few months ago. Judge Robert F. Wyly, who lived in this county for many years and who died in
the city of Tahlequah several'years ago, was my father. While I am a Democrat from principle and
making the race on that ticket, yet I want it understood that if I am elected I will consider myself a
servant of the citizens of Cherokee county so long as I am in office and it will be my aim and purpose
to render efficient and fair treatment to all regardless of what your politics may be. Trusting that
you will give this due consideration, and again assuring you whatever assistance rendered will be
greatly appreciated, and reminding you that the primary election will be held on the first day of
August, 1922,
I beg to be very respectfully, /

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
On last Wednesday night, R.
H. Hampton, a respectable farm-
er who lives seven miles north-
east of Tahlequah, was brutally
assaulted by Bert Salyer and
wife. The Salyers had been
making their home with Mr.
Hampton, Mrs. Salyer doing the
cooking. As near as we can
learn, Salyer procured a keg of
chock and became intoxicated,
and Mr. Hampton was set upon
by both he and his wife. Sever-
al ribs were broken and he was
otherwise beaten up very badly.
Warrants have been issued and
no doubt they will both be ap-
prehended.

LIBERTY NEWS.
Everybody in Cherokee county knows W. W. Hastings. He
represented this district in Congress for six years, and has lived
in and about Jahlequah all his life. There has never been a mat-
ter of public concern affecting the welfare of this city and commu-
nity that he did not aid. We owe the location of the Normal
school to his efforts, as "'eli as the Indian school south of Tahle-
quah. He has assisted in everything else for the benefit of this
city and community.
Mr. Hastings has covered the entire district in a vigorous cam-

some individual courtesy extended to the people in that particular
community. Mr. Hastings will close his campaign here at Tahle-
quah, speaking on the public square at 2:00 o'clock on Monday,
July 31, the day before the primary.

mous "Children's Code of Mor-

Berea College, passages of Scrip-
ture, and hymns and songs were

made of crepe paper, and the

paper caps of medieval design.
The closing red tableau was a
spectacular presentation of the
craft work done by the boys and
girls during the five weeks of
the school. The pageant was
largely written by Mrs. M. M.
